Potting glue defoamer: Five core advantages of solving the bubble problem are fully revealed
Potting glue defoamer plays a key role in industrial production, and its application advantages are significant, mainly reflected in improving product quality, optimizing production efficiency, enhancing product performance, meeting environmental protection and safety requirements, and reducing costs.
Improve product quality
Eliminate bubble defects: In the production and application of potting glue, the generation of bubbles is a common problem. These bubbles will cause gaps inside the potted product, affecting the appearance integrity of the product, and causing unevenness, pitting and other defects on the surface. Potting glue defoamer can effectively eliminate these bubbles, making the product surface smoother and flatter, and improving the appearance quality of the product. For example, in the potting of electronic components, a bubble-free potting layer can make the product appearance more refined and improve the market competitiveness of the product.
Ensure stable product performance: Bubbles will destroy the continuity and uniformity of the potting glue, thereby affecting key indicators such as the insulation performance, sealing performance, and heat dissipation performance of the product. Taking the power module as an example, if there are bubbles in the potting compound, it may lead to a decrease in local insulation strength and increase the risk of short circuit; it may also affect the heat dissipation effect, causing the temperature of the power module to rise during operation, reducing its service life and reliability. Using a potting compound defoamer can ensure that the potting compound is free of bubbles and ensure the stability and consistency of product performance.
Optimize production efficiency
Reduce rework and scrap: Bubble problems often lead to unqualified products, requiring rework or scrapping, which not only increases production costs but also prolongs the production cycle. Potting compound defoamers can effectively avoid the generation of bubbles, reduce the defective rate of products, reduce the number of rework and scrap, and thus improve production efficiency. For example, in the potting production of automotive electronic control units, after using defoamers, the first-time qualified rate of products is significantly improved, and the production progress is effectively guaranteed.
Shorten the production cycle: During the potting process, the presence of bubbles may require additional processing steps, such as waiting for the bubbles to be naturally discharged or performing secondary potting, which will prolong the production time. Potting compound defoamers can quickly eliminate bubbles and make the potting compound quickly reach a uniform and bubble-free state, thereby shortening the production cycle and improving production efficiency.
Enhance product performance
Improve insulation performance: For electronic and electrical products, good insulation performance is the key to ensure their safe operation. Potting glue can play the role of insulation isolation, while bubbles will reduce the insulation strength of potting glue. Potting glue defoamer can eliminate bubbles, so that the potting glue forms a continuous insulation layer, effectively improve the insulation performance of the product, and prevent safety accidents such as leakage and short circuit.
Improve sealing performance: In some products that need to be waterproof, moisture-proof and dust-proof, the sealing performance of potting glue is crucial. Bubbles will destroy the sealing of potting glue, allowing external moisture, humidity and dust to enter the product, affecting the performance and life of the product. Using potting glue defoamer can ensure that the potting glue is free of bubbles, improve the sealing performance of the product, and protect the electronic components and circuits inside the product.
Optimize heat dissipation performance: For some products with high heat generation, such as LED lamps, power modules, etc., the heat dissipation performance of potting glue will affect the temperature and life of the product. Bubbles will hinder the conduction of heat and reduce the heat dissipation efficiency of potting glue. Potting glue defoamer can eliminate bubbles, make the potting glue have good thermal conductivity, improve the heat dissipation efficiency of the product, reduce the working temperature of the product, and extend the service life of the product.
Meet environmental and safety requirements
Environmentally friendly formula: With the continuous improvement of environmental awareness, higher environmental protection requirements are also put forward for chemical additives used in industrial production. Many potting glue defoamers adopt environmentally friendly formulas, do not contain harmful substances, such as volatile organic compounds (VOCs), heavy metals, etc., and are harmless to the environment and human health. During the production and use process, no pollution and harm will be generated, which is in line with the environmental protection development trend of modern industry.
Safe and reliable: Potting glue defoamer has good chemical stability and compatibility, and can be well mixed with potting glue and other raw materials without adverse reactions. At the same time, it is not harmful to the health of operators, and it is safe and reliable to use.
Reduce costs
Reduce the waste of raw materials: Product failure and rework caused by bubble problems will cause waste of raw materials such as potting glue. The use of potting glue defoamer can reduce the defective rate and reduce the waste of raw materials, thereby reducing production costs.
Reduce energy consumption: The presence of bubbles may affect the curing speed and curing effect of the potting compound, resulting in prolonged curing time and increased energy consumption. The potting compound defoamer can make the potting compound cure quickly and evenly, shorten the curing time, reduce energy consumption, and further reduce production costs.
